<input type="radio" name="q10_question" value="no" /> no</p>

<p class="hide boxed" id="q10_response">Many of our courses deal with Program Planning, and planning itself is a required element of the curriculum.  In two courses, Community Recreation Planning (AHSC 371) and Therapeutic Recreation Programming (AHSC 381), students put planning theory into preactie by organizing, running and evaluating special events for members of the community.</p>
